COSTA MESA, Calif., October 31, 2012 – Batter up! The bases are loaded with Hyundai’s as the 2013 Sonata, Genesis Sedan and Genesis Coupe all recently earned spots among Consumers Digest’s 2013 Automotive Best Buys. With value in mind, Consumers Digest ‘Best Buy’ ratings are based on behind-the-wheel assessment, safety ratings, ownership costs, warranty, price, comfort, ergonomics, styling and amenities. For the 2013 model year, 43 cars, pickups, minivans, sport-utility vehicles and hybrids were selected out of 240 models.
“We are honored to have three vehicles named as ‘Best Buys’ by Consumers Digest,” said Scott Margason, director, Product Planning, Hyundai Motor America. “The Sonata, Genesis Coupe and Genesis Sedan are outstanding examples of vehicles that not only deliver stellar performance and design but provide high residual values.”
The Sonata’s impressive performance, good fuel economy and comfortable interior earned its third Best Buy in a row among Family Cars (2013, 2012 and 2011 model years). The award-winning Genesis Sedan picked up its fifth Best Buy recommendation in a row in the Luxury Cars segment (2013, 2012, 2011, 2010 and 2009 model years), as a value-packed alternative to large Japanese and European sedans and the Genesis Coupe nabbed its first Best Buy in the Sporty Cars division for its ride and handling qualities and lively power among others.
